By selecting Orion as its exclusive portfolio accounting software, BAM Advisor Services now provides all of its member firms, known collectively as The BAM ALLIANCE, with access to one of the most customizable accounting and rebalancing solutions available for RIAs. Orion's technology enables advisors to streamline the client reporting process, resulting in a considerable amount of time saved, allowing them to focus on revenue-generating activities and building client relationships

"We sought a partner that could help us build a leading, comprehensive wealth management platform for who we believe are the best advisors in the industry -- helping them focus on being great at planning, relationships and helping more people," says Jeff Remming, president of BAM Advisor Services. "Orion was the best fit for our business as it gives us the flexibility we need to build out that platform for our clients. The open access to APIs as well as current and future partner integrations was a big factor in our selection as they ensure we can control the evolution of our platform. We really found a way to control the holistic client experience without having to control all its parts, and allowing Orion to be the backbone and key integration point for our platform."

The BAM ALLIANCE community now includes more than 140 likeminded independent wealth management firms throughout the United States, serving more than 15,500 clients and their families. As part of this new partnership, BAM advisors will be equipped with an Orion Connect client portal, which allows easy access to client activity and integrates seamlessly with roughly 30 of the industry's leading technology providers -- giving advisors a customized view of all client assets.

"At Orion, we like to say 'when you've met one advisor, you've met one advisor,'" said Eric Clarke, CEO of Orion Advisor Services. "We've developed our technology to speak to the unique needs of each and every advisor -- a philosophy that rings true at BAM as well. We're extremely excited for this partnership and look forward to serving BAM's team of talented and dedicated fiduciaries."
